About

I work front page at Bleacher Report in New York City, and I know way too much about college football and world soccer. I'm mostly paid in the form of Bugles and Diet Coke.

    “As Stephen Jay Gould put it, in an essay that widely popularized these studies: ‘Nothing ever happened in baseball above and beyond the frequency predicted by coin-tossing models. The longest runs of wins or losses are as long as they should be, and occur about as often as they ought to.’ The one exception, Gould went on to concede, was DiMaggio’s fifty-six game hitting streak, so far above the predicted range that, in Gould’s words, it ‘ranks as pure heart.” — Steven Johnson

    Hey John
    I'm a huge fan and love your writing. Bleacherreport, especially your writing, has inspired me to start writing about sports. I considered signing up for bleacherreport but instead decided to try to make my own website. http://bustasports.com/ is the link, and it would mean a ton if you checked it out and gave me some feedback. Feel free to give me positive or negative feedback, either way it means a lot. You can post on my profile or email me at lmssports@hotmail.com
    I also have a couple questions, so do you have a personal email I can reach you at?
    Thanks a lot and a reply would be huge for me.
